“Where’s everybody?” This is a sight seldom seen by Hobart students.
The empty halls exist because classes are in session.
“Do I have time to stop at my locker?” This is
one of the important questions going through the
minds of these students as they make their way up
and down the crowded stairway.
“May I help you?” asks Diane Pflughoeft as a group of students
line up for service at the school store.

The snack bar is the center of attention at noontime. It
offers conversation as well as “snacks.”
Reminiscing — these boys are as they recall the memories of
Hobart High during a leisurely noon hour.

“Dancing in the lobby.” This is a favorite activity of the
girls and a few scarce boys.
The lobby is equipped with a juke box, snack bar, and
lounge chairs for the tired boys.
Here the enthusiasm of the student body is tremendous as With the location of the new school many students ride the

bus-riding students.

Introducing Linda Mills, yearbook Queen, center,
your choice this year to represent the Yearbook at
the Signature party. After being chosen as a candi-
date along with Carole Vygrala, Peggy Louis, and
Linda Quinlan by the senior yearbook members she
was voted in through elections made by those pur-
chasing yearbooks. The idea of a Queen was con-
ceived as a publicity stunt to help increase sales dur-
ing the trying days of the strike. However, the
choosing of a Queen may become a tradition.

“Broom Pushers” is the title given
Bill Lister, Jim Marler, and Karen

messy halls left by their respective
classes during KHHSCAFOLW.
The library is a great help to all the
students whether used as a place for
study or reference. These students await
its opening at noontime.

was caught napping along with several

A responsibility held — a responsibility met
— yes, by the administration which frequently
in the eyes of the student body falls far short
of expectations. Did you ever think of all the
laws governing the running of a school, of
all the approval and permission that has to
be obtained before policy can become a
reality.
Yes, it is with a deep sense of responsi-
bility that the administration and faculty
serve the school. Hours of time are put in
by the administration in raising standards
and in keeping the school up to the require-
ments set by the North Central association.
The teacher plans lessons, attends meetings,
goes to summer school and continually reads
the “latest” bulletin in order to keep abreast
of his subject. He has studied and studied
hard before he can communicate to you. And
he spends hours in communicating and then
hours in grading the effectiveness of that
communication.
But of course you as a student must also
put forth effort. The administration plans
testing programs, sets standards, plans cur-
riculum and continually surveys his and
other schools — always with the intent to
make the school better. Yes, we proudly
credit them in the following pages.

Dear Seniors:
Do you remember the day you first entered school?
Perhaps your mother accompanied you to make certain
you arrived properly and found the correct room and
teacher. Then for weeks you squirmed and twisted and
found it so difficult to keep seated.
Time passed. Gradually you became acquainted with
the strangeness, learned to like and play with your school-
mates, and loved your teachers. There were lessons,
crayons, paste, words to spell, new thrills evecy week.
You climbed in knowledge and eventually reached junior
high school.
Again, a strange new world presented itself. You met
many new faces. You left the friendly, comfortable situ-
ation of a single room, having only one teacher. Now
you had four, five, or six teachers. Subjects were dif-
ferent and more difficult. Grading was different. If you
were a boy you found yourself full of energy, running,
scuffling, jumping, pushing, wrestling. If you were a
girl you found yourself becoming interested in older
things — your first date, lipstick, dancing.
After these turbulent years, you became a high school
student. Lessons became more demanding, new fields of
study opened before you, credits, football, cheerleading,
clubs, honor grades, class spirit took your attention.
Later you began to acquire a sense of pride in your
approaching success. Colleges began to loom in your
thinking. Jobs, marriage, future ... all passed through
your thoughts.
Finally the great goal is within view. Rehearsals.
Final meetings. Bills. Worry! Happiness! Pleasure! Joy!
All are emotions experienced during the final days.
Then at last!
May 31, 1960
Congratulations and best wishes for an abundance of
success and happiness. We hope we have contributed in
making them possible.
Seniors:
“So many worlds, so much to do
So little done, such things
to be.”
This theme, expressing so well the tempo of our times,
should lead you to consider serious things, impell you to
set greater goals, and challenge you to accept a role of
leadership in tomorrow’s world.
You have the tools with which to build a new and
better world. You have the intellect and the character.
You must then have the zeal to use these tools to build
the world of which you dream. The courage to work, to
sacrifice, to render service, to make the right decisions.
You will not “drift along” into a world of beauty and
peace.
Drifting is only downstream, of course, and in that
direction you will not find success as an individual or
as a world. Do not “drift along,” choose the “High
Road” in the poem:
“To every man there openeth
A way, ways, and a way ;
And the high soul climbs the high way
And the low soul gropes the low.
And in between on the misty flats.
The rest drift to and fro.
But to every man there openeth
A high way and a low.
And every man decideth
Which way his soul shall go.”
Mr. Marion Bailey

track of time? If so, the man to see is Mr. Marion
Bailey, our understanding, good-humored, and well-
liked guidance director. Often when Mr. Bailey is

school teachers. Much of Mrs. Cox’s free time is
spent in her loved rose garden and her pet peeve
is gum chewers. Girls, are you guilty?
Mr. Russell Deal
Indiana B.S., M.S.
Traveling with his family and fishing are summer-
time hobbies of Mr. Russell Deal, Dean of Boys and
coach of our winning football team. A diamond and
ruby football presented him when Indiana won the
big 10 championship heads his list of prized football
honors. Understanding the value of an education, he
feels, is necessary if students expect to get the most
out of their high school career!

You are in school again, not just to drift through, but to put your mind on
school activities and make a success of your school life. As you drift through these
pages you will see recorded many of the phases of your academic life.
The students are working on various projects, some of which have consumed
hours of time. Now these projects are immortalized in print, but in order to be
successful your life of work has just begun.
As you scan your books and commit works to memory, remember that it is all
for a good cause. You are not just drifting through; you are planning and doing
for your important future.

Through . . .
ACADEMIC
“Where’s the motor?” During
Driver’s Training Mr. Deal shows
Tom Hanks, Peggy Farrell, and
Donna Mathis the different parts of
a car. Driver’s Training usually
lasts two weeks. During this time,
the students drive in the country,
through suburban areas, and in city
traffic.
Putting Hobart High’s fine library
into use is Barbara Richardson who
is checking out a book from assist-
ant librarian. Marge Dujmovich.
This year the library is open for
students in the mornings, at noon,
and after school until four.

Why should we study government? This is a
question asked by many students when confronted
with this compulsory subject.
Government is a factual and necessary subject
since students as future voters are going to take an
active part in their government, just as their
parents have done before them.
World history is studied because students need an
understanding of world problems and so that we
can avert some of the past difficulties suffered both
by our nation and other countries.
U.S. History is studied to make us appreciate what
we have now and to help us understand what our
forefathers died for. We learn from their mistakes
and in so doing create a better nation for mankind
in which to live.
Speaker of the House, Paul Krause, directs the
chants of ayes or nays on the issue, “Should teachers
over 60 be allowed to teach?” during a session of
congress.
Studying this globe in the library for Mr. Rhodes’ World History class is
just one of the many projects performed by the students. Here Tim Deu-
berry, Richard Ondrovich, and Sharon Luby note the location of European
countries.
Bob Schafer points out to Maiy Plummer how different regions of the
United States looked in 1821. Over 100 years later we are a nation of 50
states, and also one of the world’s leading strongholds against Communist
conquest.

Working on Yohan are these art students, bottom
row: Rick Baron and Pat McClaran, top row: Chuck
Donaldson and Jim Henley. Yohan, also pictured
below as the finished product, has been placed in
the student lounge. He stands over seven feet tall
and is made out of sawdust, paste, papier mache,
poster paint, and shellac.
The purpose of taking a basic art course is to make
people more aware of art in everyday surroundings.
Art is all around us. It is contained in nature; it
is a part of our life. Just as it is important to select
proper foods and to preserve our national resources,
so art is important to make our life more meaningful.
First year art teaches the general principles of art.
Second year art includes industrial art, commercial
art, and crafts. Advanced work in sculpturing and
oil painting is handled third year. The students also
recopy great paintings in an effort to improve their
own technique.
Suzanne Sable, Pat Van Loon and Bob Welch are showing puppets made from papier mache and wood during 3rd hour
art class. The puppets portray a Western series on television.

Karen Kjelstrom is pointing out to Jack
Riechert the correct notes that are to be
played from this rendition composed in
music theory class for music majors.
Music theory class is a selective organiza-
tion composed of music-minded students who
have majored in music and are planning a
career in that field.
The object of the course is to give the
student a firm foundation in music funda-
mentals, to develop oral perception by means
of melodic and harmonic dictation, and to
gain the ability to do four part harmoniza-
tions of choral melodies.
This class is taught every other year by
one of the music directors. The final project
of the year is to compose an original four
part choral that is judged by the instructor.
A mixed clarinet quartet is practicing
for a special piece in the band. Dennis
Spero is playing bass clarinet, Sharon
Templeton plays the alto clarinet, and
Pat Selzer and Bob Hodsden are rehears-
ing on the clarinets.
The band is a selective organization
for students interested in instrumental
music. Prospective members must pass
a tryout which is composed of memoriz-
ing various scales, sight reading and also
memorizing a solo. They play various
pieces of music which are judged by the
band director, Mr. Webb, and the band
officers, who decide whether the prospect
is capable of playing with the group.
All members must pass this tryout be-
fore they go on tour. Among the band’s
activities during the year are playing in
concerts, participating in contests, and
going on the annual spring tour.
The “Counts” are really singing up a storm!
Bob Walk, Jim Snodgrass, Ron Sowinski,
and Daryle Teague compose this quartet
taken from the A Cappella class.
A Cappella Choir is another selective or-
ganization for talented vocal students. Try-
outs for this group are held each spring
and are judged by Mr. Benson, the director,
aided by the choir officers. To acquaint
the high school students with the qualities
of fine choral music is the primary objec-
tive of this group. It also gives musically-
minded students an opportunity to perform
together before the public.
Activities of the A Cappella this year in-
cluded the Christmas Vespers, Music for
Christmas, Music Festival, and the hit
Broadway musical, Brigadoon.

Sue Goza discusses with Stanley Girtman how to fill
out a tax form. In Economics class all types of
businesses are discussed and a study is made as to
the amount of competition one business exerts on
another.
Diane Talian shows Rich Robinson and Harry Hall
how to determine whether they are introverts or
extroverts. This is one of the many facets in a per-
son’s character dealt with in Psychology class.
Social Science, Search For Human Understanding.
“I now pronounce you man and wife” announces Ron Gott dur-
ing this skit performed for Mr. Trammel’s Sociology class. Ron,
playing the part of the judge, marries Sue Findley and Mike
Miscko while Nancy Bycroft and Bob Bergeson serve as wit-
nesses. The purpose in conducting the ceremony was to teach
the students civil law.

The Hobart Senior High School English De-
partment offers courses in grammar and com-
position and courses in literature each of which
are a semester long.
The grammar and composition course teaches
the student the basic rules pertinent to correct
and effective use of spoken and written lan-
guage and gives him practice in its use.
The ultimate goal of composition is to enable
one to write a well organized theme free of
mechanical errors by the time he graduates
from high school.
English and American literature are taught
to acquaint the student with the best that has
been written by American and English authors
and to help him trace, through the reading, the
development of attitudes toward man, nature,
and God which are our heritage.
English Literature embraces twelve centuries
of prose and poetry, but American Literature
covers only three hundred years.
In advanced composition, the student learns
how to collect and incorporate ideas into gram-
matically correct and interesting themes. The
majority of the themes are written in class, so
as to acquaint the student with college practices.
“Welcome to the Jack Paar show.” Jane Wesley as Hugh Downs seems to be
enjoying Susan Anthony’s portrayal of Charlie Weaver reading his letter from
Mamma. Also present are Dottie Goulden as Genevieve, Mitch Blunden as
Jack Paar, and Bob Smith as a relative of Jose Mellis.
English — The Core Of Our Present Day Culture
“Get Up and Bar the Door” was portrayed in Miss Anderson’s
senior English class by Dottie Vara, Mary Lou Maurer, and
Reg Fowler. This was a ballad written during the medieval
period of English Literature. The author is unknown.
Judy Wilson and Bonnie Hill are pondering over a theme for
Miss Anderson’s composition class. This is a good subject for
all college-minded seniors.

Hobart Is Represented By
Jim High and Bob Malmquist watch as Lynn Cook explains a chart
showing the basic structure of Latin words. First year students
realize that many English words are derived from Latin which helps
them in their English studies.
Meet Germany! Susan Jansen and Kurt Kannowski are examining
pamphlets and maps while trying to figure out the emblems of
Germany in an effort to become more acquainted with the country.
Marge Scott and Jim High display typical Roman dress.
Assisting in the costuming is Judy Swanson. Second year
Latin is devoted to the study of such things as Roman
dress, costumes and food.
Latin
The best thoughts of the Western World are contained
in Latin literature which is taught all students of the
subject. The Latin language contains many philosophical
writings through the Medieval Period and contains informa-
tion pertaining to all fields of knowledge including mathe-
matics and the arts.
The scope of Latin includes a study of the people who
spoke the language — their customs, ideals, and backgrounds.
Advantages in taking Latin as a classroom subject are
(1) it strengthens one’s vocabulary and (2) it helps the
student obtain a broadened background in English funda-
mentals through the influence of Latin on our native
tongue.
German
German was added to the curriculum for the first time
this year, and was taught by Mrs. Astrid Cicak, a native
of Yugoslavia, who has been in this country 10 years.
Many people are interested in taking German because
of their own background and because they want to learn
about their ancestors. German is needed in many professions
and proves useful when taken in high school.
In first year German the structure of sentences is
studied and conversations in German between individuals
are carried on. The background of the German people is
also studied and their history, customs, and songs are delved
into.

“Big Four” In Language Arts.
Displaying the pinata, a large papier mache object
filled with candy and presents for Christmas is Daryle
Teague. Pam Frame holds a morocco which distinguishes
that particular culture known to Spain.
Barbara Davis points out the Spanish speaking countries of the world
to Dave Koziol. Studying locations of the countries helps students
obtain a basic understanding of Spanish speaking nationalities.
Spanish
By taking Spanish a person learns the fundamentals of
the Spanish language, with emphasis on the conversational
approach. The student obtains a general survey of Latin
American culture.
Vocabulary flash cards, films from airline countries, in-
formation from the consulates of Spanish-speaking coun-
tries and use of a tape recorder are some of the teaching
methods employed. Use of an opaque projector for addi-
tional material for translation, and providing duplicated
material for translating stories are also provided.
Advantages in taking Spanish include gaining a sub-
stantial background for studying Spanish in college and
it also aids those interested in conversing with Spanish-
speaking persons.
John Lain as Charles, JoAnn Kurth as Clara, and Tom Howard
as the thief are in this scene front the one-act play, “Sham.”
Speech
Because we live in a democracy we should have training
in the basic fundamentals of good speech making. A de-
mocracy is based upon freedom of speech. In a democracy
we must have self expression. Our leaders must be able to
express themselves intelligently. Thus we need to know how
to speak.
Grades in speech are based primarily upon the oral work
done by the students. Some of the things worked on in
speech are the Rotary Club Speech Contest and the play,
“Our Town.” Also emphasized is group discussion and par-
liamentary procedure.

Did you ever wonder why science is offered in the
high school? The reasons are: 1) As a subject it de-
velops clear thinking; 2) it offers a means of learning
laboratory techniques; 3) for the career minded stu-
dent it offers a concrete basis for further study; and
4) as a specific attitude it shows the student how to
solve problems of everyday life.
The physical science department offers a two semes-
ter course in general inorganic chemistry. About 40%
to 50% of the time is spent in the laboratory and the
remainder is spent in lecture, study, demonstration and
discussion.
A third semester of chemistry has now been added
to our course of study.
With regards to science for the future, let us con-
sider that man still labors under many handicaps placed
upon him by his past history. He is the victim of in-
herited superstitions and false information furnished by
many advertising media. These fears and prejudices
affect his daily life and warp his judgement. But the
individual with a true understanding of chemistry will
have a new version of truth and will perceive a new
beauty in nearly everything around him.
A mastery of science is to be encouraged for all
students of the “modern age” because of the threats
of peace to our nation and also it strengthens our un-
derstanding to an appreciation of what the world, as
it is, has to offer.
Alston Lundgren, Greg Garmong, and Jo Ann Scheu-
mann are observing and taking notes on the plant which
they gathered. Biology helps the students understand
the life processes of plants and animals.
Science Is The Web Of Confusion Which
This unique still was set up in the beginning chemistry
class by Dick Greischar and Peggy MacLeod. Though the
still produced only water, it was, never-the-less, fun to
operate.
Chuck Heilman, John Stofko, and Dave Taylor are
performing one of the many experiments in ad-
vanced chemistry. . It consists of producing am-
28
The objectives in a general biology course
are to develop curiosity, open-mindedness,
and the ability to utilize scientific methods
in solving problems. The course also de-
velops desire to achieve and maintain good
health for oneself and the community.
It also enables students to have an under-
standing of life processes in plants and
animals, arouses awareness and understand-
ing of plants and animals belonging to our
environment and promotes conservation of
natural resources. The student also develops
recreational interests and hobbies, and the
course assists pupils vocation wise.
The advanced biology course offers pupils
knowledge of the life processes and struc-
tures of plants, contributes to a well rounded
knowledge of orderly arrangement and be-
havior in nature and helps pupils see the
biological world as a whole.
Physics is studied to enrich understand-
ing of, and appreciation for, these concepts
by their frequent application to everyday
life and to industry.
The subject is designed to establish
habits of reflective thinking which will pro-
mote use of the scientific methods in solv-
ing everyday problems.

Intelligence And Perseverance Are
Needed By
The Hobart High School math department is divided
into four major classes of study: general math, algebra,
geometry, and trigonometry.
General mathematics is the study of the basic math
practices such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division. This course summaries the previous math from
grade school and junior high. These are taken by the
industrial arts major or the secretarial major.
The main objectives of algebra are: 1) to develop better
understanding of numbers, and 2) to establish an appre-
ciation for both, the intrinsic and extrinsic values of
mathematics, and 3) to encourage habits of deliberation,
perseverance, thoroughness and intellectual independence.
This year Hobart has added a fifth semester of college
algebra to the curriculum. The traditional algebra courses
consist of two semesters of beginning algebra, two se-
mesters of advanced algebra, and the fifth semester of
college algebra. During these five semesters of algebra a
student gets a firm foundation for the advanced math
courses encountered in college. The geometry department
is divided into two sections, plane geometry and solid
geometry. Its objectives are 1) to increase the powers of
observation, 2) to develop an appreciation for the need of
Dave Beres and Karen Wliisler are showing their skill in
algebra by working out a problem on the board in Mr.
Fackler’s 3rd hour class.

Hmm — Looks like we have a problem here.
Roger Ramaley, Manuel Ernhart, and Tom
Hawke are all trying to figure out how many
angles there are in each one of these geometric
figures. Purpose of the course is to help stu-
dents think, according to Mr. Stanley Senderak,
instructor.
Clif St. Clair and Carol Johnston are showing
their geometry class the differences in the
amount of degrees in various angles.

That Strange Mechanism — The Math Major
the logical proof, and 3) to strengthen the ability
to read mathematics with understanding. Plane
geometry is usually taken during the sophomore year
and is continued for two semesters. In plane geometry
the student is primarily concerned with the proofs
of postulates and theorems, which later in the course
enables him to prove the authenticity of certain
statements.
In solid geometry, the student becomes acquainted
with various formulas pertaining to volume, area
and perimeter of three dimensional objects. This is
also a good course to help the “Thinking Machine.”
Solid geometry is taken after either the third or
fourth semester of algebra and it lasts for one
semester.
Trigonometry is the study of the triangle and the
proportional parts of it. Trigonometry is primarily a
memory course, and students entering it must start
out with an open mind. Trigonometry has a definite
practical value for the college-bound student.
Hobart High’s math courses are taught by: Mr.
Byron Reed, Mr. Clifford Fackler, Mr. Stanley Sen-
derak, and Mr. Marion Bailey, all of whom have
their Master’s degrees.
Jim Thompson watches as Chuck Heilman and Ken
Nibbe demonstrate the sextant and its uses in Mr.
Fackler’s second-hour Trigonometry class.
The business education courses are designed to help
high school students:
1) do better work in college, and
2) it prepares them for jobs in the clerical field. The
courses allow the student to use in a practical way, some
of the knowledge acquired during the 10th or 11th years
in high school.
In taking shorthand a person improves his speed and
gains practice in taking dictation notes. He also increases
his speed in taking dictation of difficult material. The
student also transcribes material of increasing difficulty
on the typewriter.
In addition the courses aid the student in developing
a pleasing personality and he acquires knowledge con-
cerning the businesslike appearance, attitudes, and
standards.
By taking typing the students develop advanced levels
of speed and accuracy, and increased skill in typing
geared to occupational proficiency. He gains efficiency in
applying functionally related business learnings and de-
velops ability to read, interpret, and follow directions
when handling representative business problems.
Through daily classroom activities the student learns
desirable work habits, attitudes, and character traits
essential in business offices. Business courses give the
student an excellent opportunity to prepare for a future
career in whatever phase majored in.

Follow The Leader — Take Home Economics
Bonnie Beckett shows Joyce Hayes and Barb Bayless how to make a paper
bag out of old newspapers. Child care teaches you how to understand children
and shows you the proper methods in caring for them. It teaches one of the
best ways to gain children’s love, mainly to take time to be with them and
join in some of their activities.
The general home economics classes teach
the students how to make a better home and
enables them to learn homemaking skills. It
also encourages cleanliness, health, and the
development of wholesome personalities.
The subjects included in the home ec. field
are foods, clothing, hygiene and home nursing,
family relations, home management, and con-
sumer buying.
Something different added this year was a
course in foreign cooking which lasted for
nine weeks. It proved to be helpful as a key
to understanding foreign people and their
nationalities, and in learning the correct prep-
aration for their foods.
By taking home ec. a girl learns what is
involved in selecting, financing, and furnish-
ing a home. She discovers methods that con-

Industrial Arts Indicates Student Progress
Measuring and working on a fireplace to be used for one of the dramatic class’ plays
are John Rans, Dave Thyen, and Charles Judge. The work is being done in one of
Mr. Sullivan’s wood working classes.
Industrial Arts is a part of our regular
program of general education. Industrial
Arts instruction provides understandings
of, and experiences with, tools, materials,
and processes of our industrial and tech-
nical age.
Industrial Arts makes possible experi-
ences in drafting, woodwork, metalwork,
crafts, power and transportation, elec-
tricity and communication, and graphic
arts.
It furthers consumer knowledge and
appreciation of the other fellow and his
occupation. It promotes an understanding
of industry and fosters the development
of desirable work attitudes, work habits
and character traits.
Senior High School Industrial Arts
provides broad, industrial occupational
orientation through well organized shop
experiences and develops an understand-
ing of their own interest and abilities.
The reasons students take Industrial
Education is to prepare them for trade
or industrial employment. They feel the
need to improve present skills and knowl-
edge, or they want to prepare themselves
for a new occupation.

Just Drifting
Through . . .
Seniors — that final year is reached at last. With a
sigh of relief you walk down the corridors — you happily
reminisce. This is your last year, and oh yes, you won’t
miss the place until . . . yes, the day is nearer, and the
memories come forward.
As you drift once again through the corridors and
give a last look . . . you think, and the thoughts merge
on new ideas. You will miss the place, the friends you’ve
made, the projects you’ve worked on together, the plans
you had a hand in. What will you take with you?, a
better character? a more refined mind? a greater un-
derstanding of your fellow classmates and friends? Yes,
and more; memories are made of this.
And in the future when you glance through this book
remember that from this experience of your senior year
you were to go on to greater things. Good luck, Seniors,
as you launch upon a new career.

These senior members pose unaffectedly for their class picture. They are, from lejt to right: Warren Arnold, Jerry Davis, Ed Pitrowski,
Ralph Knickerbocker, Eric Lundahl, Jay Dean, Gerald Kennett, Charles Judge, Bob Cowles, and Ron Gott.
Ken Tarchala, a student of the work experience program
open to seniors, is discussing with Mr. Bernie Smetzer the
requirements for a particular position during a visit to his
office.
Bruce Mole, chairman, and the members of the announce-
ment committee, Angeline Navarro, Don Schmaltz, Paul
Krause and Linda Mills make a choice as to which of the
two designs they prefer.
Work Together - Cheer Together Before Good-bys
Sitting in a block of their own and wearing their sweaters mitted to the Roosevelt game free as their last privilege

No, this isn’t a Hawaiian hula dancer. It’s Dick Caldwell

Carving for the years to come, leaving behind them a memory
of their names, and behind their names, a memory of what
they were. These four seniors happily engraving their names
“We’re expecting a victory,” and we got one following the
homecoming game. Weyman was on the scene the night of
our win to be driven around the field to the screams of
yelling fans.

A senior walks into the school — this
time for the last time as a student.
Both will walk out alumnae of Hobart
High taking with them many memories
for the future. The seniors are Karen
Voyles and Dick Caldwell.
It’s time to wear senior sweaters and
sweatshirts or so these senior members
think. From left to right, are: Larry
Powell, Jerry Anderson, Evelyn Dras-
chil, and Betty McBride.
62
“All Bills paid here,” announces Karen Voyles, senior class
treasurer, as she collects from Mick Zimny and Mary Ann
Van Blaircom. This same expression is heard frequently by
Seniors through their last year.
Pay Bills, Sign Pix, Seek Guidance . . .
“Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief;” these thoughts
travel through the minds of these seniors John Stofko, Pete
Winske, Donna Boling, and Judy Hood as they wait for guid-
ance on their future occupations from Mr. Bailey.
“Have pictures, will trade” is the buzz heard around the
senior lockers as Brianne Ballantyne and Don Cary do just
that.
63
Underclassmen Bow to Seniors —
“Step aside,” instructs Diane Talian, senior, to Tom Con-
away, sophomore, as Pete Winske, senior, prepares to
take a drink of water from the senior drinking fountain.
Groans arise as Larry Pio smilingly walks out of his class five
minutes early. It seems that the sophomores and juniors don’t
appreciate having to appreciate seniors.
“It's Oke with Coke,” agree Chuck Schmelter, Barbara Hahn, and Waiting patiently for their surprise dessert are these
Ken Nibbe as they “swallow down” free cokes during Senior Week. seniors who enjoyed line privileges during Senior Ap-
preciation Week. They were served ahead of teachers
and underclassmen.
64
Seniors Bow to No-One -During S.A.W
Keeping the lounge chairs warm are these seniors
who had the privilege of being the only “sitters on
the bench,” one day during Senior Week.
No detention for these seniors as they arrive 70 minutes late
to class on Monday of Senior Week. These students seem to
be stalling off their arrival time at class until the latest
possible moment.
These seniors had a head start before the oncoming rush of
the underclassmen since they had the privilege to leave class
five minutes early during Tuesday of Senior Week.
Waiting for a free hand out from Mr. Hunt are these seniors
who were admitted to the Roosevelt game free as their last
privilege during Senior Week.
65
Judy Freeland is putting her
home ec knowledge to good
use by teaching others in
Mrs. Partlow’s home ec class
on Senior day. The most qual-
ified students are chosen for
the teaching jobs that the sen-
iors acquire that day.
Marilyn Lee is explaining to
Mr. Nixon’s Freshman alge-
bra class a problem she has
just put on the board. Pat
Zickuhr, who took over Mr.
Nixon’s class on Senior day
stands by ready to help Mar-
ilyn with her explanation.
Seniors Have Hard Day as They
Step into Well
Deane Cook, busy explaining
plant life in Miss Stuart’s first
year biology class, is trying out
her wings as a teacher on Sen-
ior day. During that day the
Seniors man the teaching posi-
tions in Junior high and the
high school.
66
Linda Quinlan, Sheila Schultz, Judy Wilson, and Joan Martin,
seniors, are discussing their teaching applications for Senior
day with Mrs. Sillery. The applications will be sent to a
committee for approval.
-Worn Shoes of Teachers and Administrators
Elaine Carpenter watches on as Jon Stafford conducts a class discussion on
the chapter which he has just finished reading to the class. Elaine took over
Mrs. Grace Todd’s English classes on Senior day.
On May 13 the seniors had the
privilege of stepping into the shoes
of the school board, administrators,
teachers, and office personnel. This
was the seventh consecutive year
that Senior day was held in Hobart
high.
Five days earlier on May 8, sen-
iors prepared themselves by viewing
the teaching techniques and class-
room procedure during a classroom
visitation.
Purpose of Senior day is to ac
quaint the seniors with the prob-
lems of the teachers and school
administration on what would be
a typical school day. Classes were
conducted as usual with both the
Junior and Senior high partici-
pating.
67
Through . . .
Sophomores — you are treading anew the well worn
paths of the upperclassmen. Juniors — you are now well
launched on a school career. The things once new in
the school building have become more familiar.
Courses of study have been selected, activities have
been chosen. You are now working to become better
leaders and better followers by your participation in
class projects and clubs. Publications, play groups, and
other organizations have bid for your patronage. And
you have answered the call of some of them.
Choose well your projects, for it will not be long
when they will be memories. Just drifting through, yes
but with purpose and intent. Make high school be the
foundation for your future; make your future the
glorious reflection of those things mastered and learned
in our new Hobart high school building.

prom during a recent visit to
the Palette Shop.
Jan Evanoff and Pat Driscoll, co-chairmen
of the decoration committee for the prom,
are instructing Donna Erwin on the art
of making centerpieces with theme “Cha-
teau de Fleur,” House of Flowers, in
mind.
“Raid ’Em” was the theme of the Jun-
ior’s winning float. The float was adorned
with a large Brickie shooting the “Hor-
nets” with Raid. P.S. — the Brickies won
the game.

Assignment late? Don’t ask these Jun-
iors Jane Wesley, Kathy Miko, and
Doug James. They’re too busy rush-
ing to finish their school work before
the bell rings.
Doug Morris and Kathy Miko, newly elected royalty of the Junior
class party, successfully reign over the gala affair.
Money paid; now the fun of pick-
ing up and trying on rings begins.
Here Jim Lake, Connie Peacock,
and Vicki Small obtain theirs
from Mr. Matt Selling, co-owner

“Smother those Hornets” was the slogan used by
the sophomores for their first attempt at a float.
A large Brickie trying to smother the Hornets
decorated their float.
“Can I interest you in a magazine?” asks Ad-
rienne Immel and Donna Morris of Melissa De-
Leurere during the Sophomore magazine drive. The
drive was to raise money for the Junior-Senior
Prom.
“Victory, Victory that’s our cry,” shout the
Sophomores as the victory bell peals out the
ring of another Brickie triumph. The Sopho-
mores include Sharon Veltri, Pat Scott, Steve
Atwater, Sharon Small, Rich Ondrovich, and
Claus Ackermann.
Sue Weiler shows Jim Harwood the class ring that she prefers while the
clerks advise her to “always pick out the size class ring that fits your
boy friend’s finger and he should do the same for you.” She doesn’t
agree as she allows Jim to look at it.
83
Events like proms, dances, and class
parties are classified as strictly “extra-
curricular.” And yet they are a part of
you and you grew as you participated in
these social activities.
These activities in moderation are nec-
essary and bridge a gap between work and
play. They teach communication with our
fellow man and they make our move
through life easier.
Each man as he drifts through life must
engage in some social activity, and at one
time or another, all men will feel ill at
ease.
Social life lessens the frequency of this
feeling and eventually a person becomes
free and easy in social affairs.
And so it is with pride that we record
your social fun in the succeeding pages.

Sally Adams, campaign manager for Mike Davis,
wishes him luck in the coming school elections. The
election was to be the climax of a never-to-be-
forgotten summer of hard work, sprinkled with fun.
Mike Davis and Linda Howell led this year’s Purple Party to victory
in one of the school’s liveliest and most colorful campaigns.
The members of both parties worked with great enthusiasm, backing
their candidates by means of humorous posters, announcements, and
parades.
The Gold Party, led by its Mayor and Clerk candidates, Willie Regier
and Martha McMurtry, employed such tactics as hanging gold records
from the chandeliers in the lounge, and having an airplane drop paper
plates which read “Vote Gold.”
The whitewashed mark which the Purple Party left will last for years
to come. The party workers spent many nights painting sidewalks,
streets, and even Jim Ray’s truck!
While the campaigns meant a great deal of work, a hayride and a
midnight picnic served to break the monotony of sign painting.
This year’s campaign parade started on 8th Street in front of the
school. Dick Raiza, Hobart’s racing policeman, led the procession.
Following him was the band playing a variety of songs. Next came
Brian Skogler in a maroon ’53 Dodge 'pulling the Purple Party’s float.
The float was made of kleenex flowers, sprayed purple, and had a
trellis on the hack of it. Several Purple Party cars and many cheering
students followed the float. The cars were driven by Roger Remaley,
Dick Caldwell, and John Hupertz.
Purple and Gold Campaigns
Cheerfully painting Purple Party posters are John Hupertz,
Mary Louise Stone, and John Stofko. Admiring their work
and also coaching are Peggy Tucker and Brian Skogler.
Linda Howell cries tears of happiness as she is
heartily congratulated by her friends and supporters
as the winner of the Clerk post.
Gold Party cars were driven by Pete Leichty, Phil Gerard, Bob
Walk, and Jim Blackburn. Last, but by no means least, on a hay-
wagon pulled by Mr. Dave Caldwell, was a band of cheering Gold
Party enthusiasts.
The parade turned on Water Street and went to 6th It then con-
tinued onto Main Street and through town. Many people lined the
streets to see the parade; and few missed hearing it — for it was
truly the parade that made Tamany Hall of Hobart come alive.
As Linda Howell leaves the voting booth, Jim Ray
congratulates her for being one of the 620 students
who voted in the Mayor-Clerk-Treasurer elections
Linda went on to win the post of clerk-treasurer.
Highlight the Year
Enthusiasm is reflected in the faces of these Gold
party supporters. They are being pulled through
town by a tractor driven by Mr. Dave Caldwell.
Pete Liechty and Ruth Marconi are eagerly painting
posters for their favorite candidates of the Gold
party — Willie Regier and Martha McMurtry.

Hobart Slaughters Hornets 62-51 -Then Celebrates
Gwen Welch and her dancing part-
ner Boh Bergeson strut gaily dur-
ing the football homecoming dance.
The dance was held in the school
lobby following the win over the
Lew Wallace “Hornets.”
Excitement and tenseness are re-
flected in the faces of these Brickie
boosters as they direct the crowd
in cries of “Beat the Hornets” dur-
ing the football homecoming game.
It looks as if spooks and witches should he the theme of this
picture. Actually it is the bonfire in which the “Hornet” was
burned before the Football Homecoming.

Queen Gwen Welch and her court: Sandy Lea, Becky Griffiths, Mole, respectively, presented each of the royal foursome with
and Joyce Tosch, compose the homecoming royalty. Their. one dozen red roses during the half-time ceremonies,
escorts: Jim Marler, Jerry Anderson, John Jamison, and Bruce
Plenty of enthusiasm was the only ticket needed to join the
fun of the bonfire and snake dance before Homecoming. The
students met at 7 :30 in Brickie Bowl to begin the dance. A
police escort led the fans, followed by cars of enthusiasts,
down Main Street.
At the conclusion of the pep rally, everyone returned to
Brickie Bowl for the bonfire. All of the students circled around
the fire, and watched the big yellow hornet sizzle down to
nothing.
During this session, the group madly yelled, “Burn that
Hornet.” Cheerleaders led everyone in numerous cheers. Then
Wally Geib gave a pep talk, which was followed by rousing
cheers and our school song.
To the music of “Fascination” our homecoming candidates
were driven around the Brickie Bowl during the half-time of
the Lew Wallace homecoming game. Robed in blue and white
formals, respectively, Joyce Tosch and Becky Griffiths waved
to the crowd from the first car. Following closely in the
second car were Sandy Lea, bedecked in white, and Gwen
Welch, garbed in a white formal adorned with pink net trim.
Joyce’s escort was Bruce Mole, Becky’s, Jerry Anderson,
Sandy’s, Jim Marler, and Gwen’s, John Jamison. Martha Hart-
man, senior class president, announced Gwen as the 1959
Homecoming queen, and at that moment John Jamison crowned
her with a glittered headpiece of white mums. Gwen and her
court were each presented a dozen red roses.
Following the game was the Homecoming dance which was
a perfect encore to our victory over the Lew Wallace Hornets.
In the middle of the evening, the queen and her court
paraded down the main stairs onto the dance floor in the
lobby! The homecoming sweetheart, Gwen Welch, was es-
corted by Wally Geib and Chuck Donaldson. Members of the
court were Becky Griffiths, Sandy Lea, and Joyce Tosch.
Their escorts were Mike Davis, Mick Zimny, and Bob Ber-
geson, respectively. As the girls were escorted in, Queen
Gwen was presented with a white football, autographed by
the members of the team and by Wally and Chuck.
Another highlight of the evening was a dance contest from
which several winners were selected.

Roger Remaley, Martha Hartman, Peggy Tucker, Fran Chever-
ton, and Jim Thompson composed the panel which discussed the
“Need for Emphasizing Juvenile Decency.” Mike Davis led
the question and answer period which followed. Some of the
problems discussed were the fact that this area is considered
“the region” by many, and thoughts were centered on how to
improve its reputation

Girls Dote Over Boys on April 1st Turnabout Day
This April first was not only special be-
cause of being April Fool’s Day, but it was
also Turnabout Day at Hobart High. Turn-
about Day is the day when the boys allow
the girls to perform special favors for them.
The girls’ masculine roles included carry-
ing the boys’ books, opening doors for them,
and all such services which boys usually
perform for girls.
The perfect conclusion to this day could
only be a Turnabout Dance in which the
girls asked the boys for the dates, bought
the tickets, and a few girls even provided
transportation. I’ll bet the boys wish every
day was Turnabout Day!
Tom Teer seems to enjoy having his steady, Carol Wasy, perform such favors
as helping him from the car on Turnabout Day at Hobart High.
Peggy Louis is putting Reg Fowler’s books into his locker
for him. But why? Oh, yes, it’s Turnabout Day when the
girls wait on the boys — and like it.
What’s this, Maureen Holland opening a door for Tom
Hawke? Yes, true enough, for it is Turnabout Day. Carry-
ing Dennis Coates’ books is Barbara Hahn.

Howard Schoonover tumbles on the tram-

Many students wait tensely for the convo to begin.
This year the many convos included such events as
a trampoline act, the European folk dancers, and
several speakers.
These members of the Honor Society depict what
students should not do during a pep session. Only
two boys are interested in cheering, while the others
engage in eating, reading, and gabbing.

Just Drifting
Athletics — a nine letter word which includes all the sports at the high school; cross country, football, basket-
ball, track, baseball, golf, intramurals, gym, and cheerleading.
But the word athletics only begins the story. It does not tell the hours of work, the hours of coaching, the
many hours of practice. It does not tell the struggle of the athlete as he tries not just to drift through the
sport, but rather as he tries with a pull on physical and mental energy to become a success.
The athlete has determination, will power, love of the sport. He practices good sportsmanship and keeps the
hours required. He gives of himself down to the last dregs of energy when on the field or on the court or on
the diamond, he performs for the public; and for you the students of Hobart high.
Hats off to our athletes. May they live in our Memories for time immemorial.

Hobart Harriers Look to 1960 for Winning Season
Losing all but captain Jim Marler from the 1958 third place
state meet fivesome, the Brickie harriers found themselves in a
rebuilding year that began slowly but gave definite indications
as the campaign drew to a close that the Hobart harriers of 1960
would again be a power packed sectional and state meet threat.
Spirited along by junior captain, Marler, and their freshman
sensation, Bemie Claxton, Coach Frank Kurth’s squad of new
recruits worked long and hard for the improvement that saw
them finish fourth in the IHSAA sectional meet, just one posi-
tion short of qualifying for a state meet berth.
The early season meets found the Ho-Hi harriers losing to Calu-
met, Crown Point, Chesterton, Valparaiso, Michigan City and Gary
Roosevelt, perennial toughies of the hill and dale sport, despite
the 1-2 finish of Jim Marler and Bernie Claxton in these regu-
larly scheduled meets. The dual between the two Hobart aces
for individual scoring honors was so close that it took three
straight victories on the part of Captain Marler in the closing
meets to enable him to post scoring honors for the season by a
51-48 count over Claxton. Their teammates elected them co-captains
for the ’60 season.
Coming up with greatly improved times as the season progressed
were Brickie runners Dave Taylor, John McDowell, Floyd Rogers,
Pete Liechty, Jim Thompson and Bob Loiacano. They combined
with the Marler-Claxton duo to post triumphs over River Forest
and Chesterton, climaxed by a pleasing sectional showing.
Perhaps the greatest individual feat of the fall campaign was
registered by Marler as he captured the IHSAA (Hobart) sectional
crown with a fine clocking of 9:42.5 for the two-mile grind.
Claxton placed third in 9:48.5. Both athletes continued their good
running in the final state championship race by placing 14th
and 15th in a field of over 250 top runners. Claxton also won
single honors in the Shortridge High School invitational freshman
Wz mile run by romping to a new record of 7:38.7 to far out-
distance his competition. The old mark of 7 :50.5 was set in 1956
by Fred Wiley of Bloomington High School.

Hobart Brickies Complete Season as Fifth in State
Dave Mueller (30) is brought down after a long run while Rudy
Kuechenberg (36) tries to foil the tacklers. Other players are Jim
Henley (46), Chuck Schmelter (31), and Wally Geib (42).
Starting the 1959-60 football season, the Brickies
were again ranked as one of the top teams in the
state. The first game put doubt into many minds as
to whether this was going to hold true this season.
The first game with Whiting proved to be a near
upset. Hobart started slowly, but quickly gained
enough to edge out Whiting 26-18.
Hobart then overcame all doubts in everyone’s mind
as to the strength of the team, by overwhelming their
next two opponents: Emerson 33-6 and Griffith 26-6.
Standout defensive work handcuffed the Panthers
of Gary Roosevelt to a net gain of 107 yards as the,
truculent Brickies of Hobart slammed home their 4th
straight victory of the season 14-6.
Following the Roosevelt game, Hobart then pro-
ceeded to plough through their next three opponents:
Crown Point, 35-7 ; Lew W allace, 35-7 ; and Michigan
City, 32-7.
Once again the thorn in the side of the Hobart
team was East Chicago Roosevelt as the Brickies lost
a mud splattered game 13-0 for their first defeat
after having won 16 straight games. The Brickies
took out their loss on Tolleston, smashing the Blue
Riders 50-0 to end their season on the gridiron.
104
John Hupertz (19) pushes forward for a large gain as Jim
Ray (57), Jim Henley (46), and Dan Schroeder (51) clear his
way. This action occurred during the Emerson game at Gilroy
Stadium.
When Russ Says
Expressions of pain mark the faces of Bob Graham (45) and
George Vavrek (54) as they bring down an unidentified Crown
Point player. Also aiding in the tackle is Wilbur Regier (20).
“Win”- We “Win”!!!
Tense looks from the sidelines are expressed by the
team and their coach, Russ Deal. They need not worry
as the Brickies who ended their season ranked fifth in
the state and easily rolled over all the teams they played
except East Chicago Roosevelt. The game played here
was played against Griffith away from home. Next to
Russ is his 11 year old son, Mike.
Brickies of Hobart smashed massive Michigan
City’s Red Devils 32-7 with a whirlwind 2nd half
offensive.
The triumph was ample revenge for the 7-7 tie
Michigan City gained with Hobart last year, which
was the blot in an otherwise perfect Brickie cam-
paign.
Furthermore, Hobart was still smarting from its
only 1959 defeat, a 13-0 loss at East Chicago Roose-
velt.
Brickie fullback John Hupertz plunged over from
the one-yard line for first blood, but Mueller’s kick
for the p.a.t. was wide.
Dave Mueller, Hobart’s star halfback, scored on a
two-yard line plunge, and on a 48-yard run after
receiving a lateral from quarterback Chuck Donald-
son. Both of Mueller’s kicks for points were blocked.
In closing its season on a 8-1 mark, Hobart had
as good a claim as any to the independent high
school mythical state championship.
Chuck Donaldson (32) brings down a Tolleston Blue
Raider as Mike Davis (37) charges in to aid in the
tackle. Hobart went on to a smashing vistory 50-0.

The 1959-60 varsity basketball team is as follows,
kneeling, left to right: Manager Paul Woodruff, Pete
Liechty, John Jamison, Richard Bliss, Manager Paul
Eikenbary. Standing, left to right: Coach Evar Ed-
quist, Jim Grudzinski, Chuck Donaldson, Jerry Ander-
son, Dave Beres, Bob Smith, Jim Chandler and Mike
Davis.
It seems as though Pete Liechty is laying down on the
job. In reality he is attempting to pass off to Dave
Beres (54) while Chuck Donaldson (32) and some
Calumet Warriors look on.
Organized Confusion
A grimace of pain is shown by Pete Liechty as he
tries desperately to take away the ball from a Roose-
velt player!
Mike Davis sails into the air with a 20 foot jump shot
in the Hobart-Merrillville game. Chuck Donaldson
awaits the rebound.
Dave Barres, 54, clears the way for Mike Davis, 34,
as Bob Smith, 45, watches the play. This game re-
sulted in a win over Merrillville.
on the Court
Loose ball creates action in the Gary Roosevelt game.
The Brickie players are Bob Smith, 45; Mike Davis,
31; Chuck Donaldson, 32; and Dick Bliss, 23.
Bob Smith waits for a pass as Mike Davis smashes
his way toward the basket. Pete Liechty comes in to
assist the play.
Who gets the tip-in? This is the scorekeeper’s ques-
tion as Jerry Anderson and Bob Smith leap for the
hall.
Reserve Team: (left to right) Rick Stephens, Bob Walk, Bill Filter, Bob Johnston. Second row: Coach Trammel, Darrel Regier,

How would your ability be on the parallel bars? It is no
easy pastime, as these boys in intramurals might tell you. On
the bars are: Rick Baron, Bruce Mole, Larry Howey, Tom
Stump.
Intramurals are for boys who are not participating in any
varsity competition at the present time. These boys meet on
Tuesday or Thursday nights every week in the gym and en-
gage in tumbling, basketball, weight lifting and trampoline
activities.
The Intramurals offers a well rounded sports program for
every boy who is interested in organized sports. The most
enthusiastic response for the meetings seems to occur during
the basketball competition. The fellows divide into separate
basketball squads and the teams are eliminated through com-
petition until there is one remaining champion squad.
These activities are not seasonal but continue throughout
the school year and alternate periodically.
Mr. Floyd Davis, sponsor and advisor, oversees all meetings
and assists in coaching. Boys’ Intramurals are organized with
the intent of developing the athletic interest and abilities of
every individual.
Intramurals - Thrills in Sports Once a Week
A thrilling basketball game or a workout in tumbling are two of
the activities that the boys in intramurals participate in.
The newly received trampoline offered an exciting ac-
tivity for these boys. “It takes practice for perfection,”
they all agree. On the trampoline is Rudy Kuechenberg.
Will Freddie’s Freeloaders win this game? Boys who do
not play in varsity competition form the squad. They
find the competition exciting and fun.

Members of a boys’ gym class stand ready to get
the rebound as Rich Hamman shoots for the
basket.
The girls’ gym classes perform many tumbling ac-
tivities such as the pyramid. This feat takes time
and practice, but the photographer had fun in
getting it.
Strong Bodies Build Sound Minds
Will it go in? This seems to be what Donna Mathis is thinking
during this girls’ gym class game.
A demonstration in tumbling is being given by this foursome in-
cluding Larry Howey and Ken Woodward, left, and Rudy Kuechen-
berg and Les Immel, right. The back row includes John Hupertz,
Tom Stump, Ron Frame, Terry Lee, Carl Towell and Bruce Mole.

The Varsity and Reserve cheerleaders are giving us a good example of
their high school spirit in action by putting every effort into this
formation.
A vote of thanks goes to the substitute
cheerleaders who give their help and
support to the regular cheerleaders.
The subs included, left to right: Sandy
Lee, Janice Eickstead and Ruth Mar-
coni.
Cheerleaders lead a busy life of demanding
practice. Every day finds them in the school
lobby performing and working on new ways to
lead cheers. On game night they have an hour
workout and every other day they practice until
4 o’clock. This year the school alloted $164
for costumes. The money was spent on football
and the girls purchased their basketball outfits.
New cheers are obtained by the group dur-
ing a conference in October. This year the
girls felt that the booster club was outstanding.
Further Martha Hartman commented that the
Sophomores added a lot to the cheering section
and brought a lot of enthusiasm with them
from the old building.
These little cuties are our Reserve cheerleaders
who, when things get rough, are always ready
to lend a helping hand. The 1959-60 reserve
cheerleaders were, Beth Gallagher, front, Bev
VanLoon, right, Vicki Kozyra, center, Bettsy
Murry, left, and Bonnie Kittredge, back.

“Join the clubs” and in the future when you are drifting through your Memories
you will look back and note with fondness your activities. Many of them were time
consuming and trying.
At times perhaps you questioned their value. And yet these clubs formed an
intricate part of your school life. You could not just drift through them to be
successful. You had to give of yourself to feel the worth and merit of the
organization.
In the following pages we pay a salute to you and to the many club activities
that have filled your school days with happiness.

ORGANIZATIONS
The second semester staff checks over pho-
tographs, types copy, prepares the mailing

says Dot Vara, first semester editor-in-chief
of the Ho-Hi Life, as she hands over her
records to incoming editor-in-chief, Judy
Wilson.

Dear Students,
Putting out the Ho-Hi Life first semester was a time-consum-
ing, nerve-racking job. However, the staff gave all they had
to the paper and had a lot of fun in doing it.
We put out five issues which were printed by John Dudley,
owner of the Hobart Gazette. Our paper had quite a jinx on
the printer’s shop. Dropping a chase, static electricity and a
broken motor were a few of the troubles which caused the
paper to come out late.
I would like to thank the faculty, our advertisers, and
former editor, Brent Dickson, for their co-operation without
which the paper would not have been possible. Special thanks
goes to Miss Quinn, our sponsor, and Jet, our means of
transportation.
I sincerely hope that all my predecessors will learn as much
as I did and will have as much fun as I had being a part
of the Ho-Hi Life.
Sincerely,
Dottie Vara
Dear Ho-Hi Students,
The Ho-Hi Life concludes its last issue on June 3rd, with
the beginning journalists acting as editors. One of the latter
issues is traditionally published by them as they will be your
next year’s staff.
Each issue has tried to be informative and at the same
time has attempted to be entertaining. Our editorials, I
especially hope, have made the students of this high school
do some reflective thinking.
Our aim has been in publishing a tri-weekly paper, to give
potential journalists the experience required and to provide
the student body with a publication of which it can be proud.
Sincere thanks goes to the faculty and administration for
their co-operation and to the second semester staff.
In conclusion, I wish to extend my best wishes to the
1960-61 Ho-Hi Life staff. Good luck, future journalists!
Yours sincerely.
Jane Wesley works busily on copy while Bonnie Niksch
who has just completed a classroom glance laughs at
her own writing.
Getting in a little extra preview of a Ho-Hi Life issue
as it comes off the press are Judy Wilson and Jane
Wesley. Dick Caldwell is shown pulling a proof off the
proof press.

An eager working Yearbook staff has com-
pleted the year’s work with many recollections
of happy memories. The task involved the pre-
paring of a mock dummy, the assigning of
photos, the taking and cropping of pictures, the
writing of copy and captions, then mailing, the
business side, ads and the list goes on.
When the work is completed and the pages
are turned the staff will look back with a sense
of pride in this new accomplishment. It would
be hard to compute the hours of work put into
this book. But. consider for a moment the time
involved in just deciding what would go on each
page. After epch page was set up the copy had
to be written and approved. Each page had to
be handled several times before completion.
And so in presenting to you our 1960 Memories
we add to it the comment that the experience
has been worth the work and effort and we
hope that you gleam some pleasure from it.

Making Layouts - Cropping Pix-Jnst Two of Many Tasks
Yearbook deadlines mean hours of frantic work. Here Trent and Linda Quinlan compare the layout with last year’s. Linda
McKinney draws triplicates or final layouts while Sally Adams Prusiecki and Diane Pflughoeft prepare to write the copy.
124
Mary Kay Berg approved the bill
being typed by Connie Peacock
while Virginia Strudas and Rita
Torin work on the index. Look-
ing on are Peggy Tucker, Jo
Anne Etter and Virginia Newman.
“Now smile prettily,” states Don Partlow as he
used the range finder to set up a yearbook
picture. Don is photo editor.
Ad contracts give such information as whether a picture is wanted or
not and the price of the ad. Kathy Nagy, explains to Carole Vygrala
and Linda Prusiecki the new policies for ads this year which she hopes
will make her section better than it has ever been.
Deadlines are serious business. Jim Blackburn, assistant sports
editor, writes the intramural copy while Mariann Trbovich,
senior and underclass editor, and Ron Sowinski, sports editor,
check over one of the completed pages. Sharon Maud, assistant
senior editor, composes a headline as Pam Pruitt, assistant
underclass editor, puts the job stamp on the sophomore
pictures.

Quill and Scroll Members Capture Writing Awards
Stamp, crop, and write captions for pictures, check layout
sheets, and write and type copy are just a few of the many
steps in producing a good section. From left to right, are:
Peggy Louis, academic editor; Vickie Small, assistant; Linda
Vaidik, faculty editor; Peggy Farrell, organization editor; and
Kathy Nagy, assistant.
“Be is known that the Executive Council
by authority in it vested grants unto the
Hobart High School of Hobart, Indiana,
full authority to establish and to perpetuate
a chapter of Quill and Scroll at the afore-
said High School.” This plaque paved the
way for the teaching of Journalism as a
course of study.
Further it encourages young writers to
become proficient as after a year of Jour-
nalism the outstanding students are recom-
mended for membership and then after be-
ing a journeyman for a year the students
become eligible to receive writing awards.
Bonnie Hill, center, was this year’s re-
cipient of the creative writing award while
Judy Wilson, Dot Vara, and Freya Jensen
received the editor-in-chief award pins. The
Quill and Scroll organization is also recog-
nized in colleges, where the student con-
tinues his honorary membership.
126
The Hi-Y is an organization of high
school boys, affiliated with the Hobart
Y.M.C.A. Its purpose is “to create, main-
tain, and extend throughout the home,
school, and community high standards of
Christian character.”
Some of this year’s activities have been
a judo exhibition given for the student
body; movies on hunting and fishing;
speakers on such subjects as F.B.I. work,
guns and gun safety, and skin diving; field
trips; and many other interesting pro-
grams. The Hi-Y has also worked closely
with the local “Y” office in helping to pro-
mote “Y” activities in Hobart.
“Next week we must get organized,” says David Taylor, president, to his other
officers of the Hi-Y Club. From left to right, are; Bob Granzow, Larry Fasel.

The Debuteen executive council has taken time out from their many activities to pose for a picture. From left to right, they are:
Sharon Anderson, Margaret Banaski, Ruth Marconi, Linda Mills, Maureen Holland and Kathy Miko.
Debs’ initiation, carnation day, the bundle
drive potluck supper, the powder puff football
game against the G.A.A.’ers, and the Debs’
convo were only a few of the numerous Debu-
teen activities.
Highlighting the year was the annual Debs’
semi-formal. This year the club held the dance
in February in the cafetorium and featured
Johnny Baker’s band.
Under Kathy Miko’s supervision. Buzz books
were again published containing the names, ad-
dresses, class standing, and telephone numbers
of the students.
Fifty girls gave up their free time to sell
Peanuts for Polio in which $296 was collected.
A junior high club. Sub Debs, affiliated with
the high school girls was started this year.
Ninety girls were initiated in the fall.

A group of G.A.A.’ers are displaying their art of tumbling.
These eager feminine creatures look as if they are capable
of jumping right off the page. Mr. Deal may not be
signing them up for next season but they played an
enthusiastic game. Final score was 6-6. Coaches for the
game were Miss Eleanore Reisinger and Miss Mary
Steinkamp.
Dona Davis looks for a teammate to release the ball to, while being

Getting the girls in shape for the powder puff football game put
on by the G.A.A. and Debuteens are Delphine King and Adrienne
Immel. The girls pulled this publicity stunt before the beginning
of the game.
In a few moments there would have been no picture as 35 eager
students and teachers devoured the cake following the In and Out
game. The four team captains are, from left to right: Marian
Jackson, junior; Cassandra Zulick, sophomore; Miss Eleanore
Reisinger, and Linda Mills, senior.

Invades Ho-Hi Cafetorium at G.A.A. Semi
G.A.A. began activities this year with mini-
ature golf followed by six weeks of volleyball
and deck tennis. At Christmas the group caroled
at many homes in Hobart. In January the G.A.A.
girls spent a swim night in Valpariso.
Basketball began in February for the G.A.A.
and was a six-week-project. The group spon-
sored the In-and-Out game held Wednesday,
March second. Seniors played the teachers
while the juniors contested the sophomores.
The G.A.A. convocation took place March
second with the entire club participating. The
history of basketball was enacted and In-and-
Out team introductions were made. The girls
were attired in long, old fashioned skirts and
bloomers but later on donned the up-to-date
playing outfits of shorts and blouses.
As the year progressed the girls tried their
hand at baseball and track. The G.A.A. track
meet was held in the spring. The year was
closed with the G.A.A. banquet.
“Oops,” Jan Chirila loses the ball on a try for the basket at the In-and-Out
game. As luck would have it Linda Howell was right there to receive it
for her team.

Spanish Classes Unite in Numerous Club Activities
In an effort to teach Mexican life to the Spanish
classes, club officers purchased items of culture
to be displayed. Included in the group, from
left to right, are: Carole Vygrala, Bob Graham,
Bill Lister, Sue Findley, Joe Wojihoski, Cassan-
dra Zulick and Barbara Davis.
Cars were washed to the tune of S88 by Spanish Club members
during their money raising project. These boys hover closely
around a Buick and do a thorough clean-up job.
Three skits provided entertainment at the Spanish Club
dinner. In addition Cassandra Zulick danced to the tunes
of Joe Wojihoski.
Since there are two second year Spanish c' asses this
year instead of one, Spanish Club membership was han-
dled differently than previously. Two representatives
from the four classes were chosen, and they meet one
Friday a month, with Mr. Robert Neff acting as club
sponsor, to lay the foundation for the club’s activities.
From the eight representatives, Bill Lister, Bob Graham.
Cassandra Zulick, and Barb Davis were elected officers.
The club’s activities included such endeavors as a
Christmas party, the annual Spanish dinner, and a picnic
in the spring.
Money raising projects this year included a bargain
car wash in October. In addition, the club operated the
snack bar. With the money the club has bought work-
books for all the Spanish classes, records, playing and
vocabulary cards, miniature flags of the South American
countries and a plaque with the Pledge of Allegiance
in Spanish.
132
Feast of the Saturnalia Tops Latin Club Year
The officers with the aid of the third year Latin
students are busily working on plans for the Satur-
nalia. Gregory Garmong, president, is directing the
activities while Alston Lundgren, treasurer, consults
a Latin book. Jon Howard, Linda Prusiecki, Melissa
DeLeurere and George Smith, vice president, are think-
ing up and writing down ideas. As a result of their
consultation the Saturnalia was a success. Dick
Greischer, secretary, is not shown.
One of the main attractions of the Saturnalia was
the wrestling match between Chuck Diamond (left)
and Dennis Knight.
Latin, the language of the ancient Romans, is the
father of the romance languages, and its study is
promoted by the Latin Club.
Affiliated with the Junior Classical League, the
Hobart Latin Club meets every other Thursday of
the month. Its purpose is to further students’ in-
terest in Roman life and customs.
Annually the club gives a banquet preceding
Christmas. This year’s Saturnalia held in honor of
the god, Saturn, consisted of a potluck dinner pro-
vided by the students and the traditional singing
of carols in Latin. Each member wore either a
stola or toga. Melissa DeLeurere, a third year stu-
dent was crowned Miss Saturnalia of 1959, and Chuck
Diamond a sophomore, Mr. Saturnalia.
A wrestling match between Chuck Diamond and
Dennis Knight added to the evening’s entertainment.
In the spring, delegates were sent to the state
convention held at Terre Haute, Indiana.
Judy Anderson is serving punch to two students who attended the
Saturnalia, which was held in the cafetorium December 16. Howard
Hershey and Melissa DeLeurere thirstily accept.

New Offspring Celebrates German Christmas
Jim Snodgrass seems doubt-
ful while Charles Kelly is
hopeful, about the outcome
of one of the many poker
hands at the club sponsored
Christmas party which ob-
viously was a success even if
everyone didn’t go home a
winner.
Diane Pflughoeft explains the festive costumes of Germany to,
left to right: Ruth Marconi, Susan Janson, and Charles Kelly.
Susan, however, has her attention focused on one of Germany’s
modern cities.
The German Club this year is an offspring of the newly
created German class and is being conducted under the
direction of Mrs. Astrid Cicak. In December the group
celebrated Christmas by having a German style Christmas
party at the home of Diane Pflughoeft, senior.
As springtime activities the club spent an evening at
San Remo restaurant and also took a field trip to two
university extensions in the area to visit their German
departments in action.
The group also entertained two young couples who re-
cently moved into the area from Germany.
All the games played were
not as noisy as poker, as
this picture shows. Kurt
Kannowski is suspiciously
eyeing John Cicak’s next
move.

When one thinks of dramatics, one thinks of Thespians. These students merited member-
ship by acquiring 10 points. Bottom row, left to right: Sharon Ramsey, Peggy Tucker,
Renee Shannon. Top row, left to right: Fran Cheverton, Chuck Schmelter, Mary Kay Berg,
Gary Walker, Ruth Marconi, Jim Ray, Sally Adams, Linda Howell.
Bow In - Bow Out — It’s Play
These Masque and Gavel officers are waiting to be inspired, as
their job is to pick the right script for their second production.
Their first presentation was, “Our Town.” Officers, from lift to
right, include: Fran Cheverton, treasurer; Mary Kay Berg, secre-
tary; Linda Howell, president; Beth Kursch, historian, and Gary
Walker, vice president.
Time in Hobart
To promote interest in the dramatic ac-
tivities of the school is the purpose of the
Masque and Gavel Club. It also gives its
members practical experience in play pro-
duction and stimulates interest in the the-
ater, speech, dramatic writing, dramatic
literature, music, and dance.
The membership is open to any student
with average scholastic standing who is in-
terested in the speech arts.
A Masque and Gavel Club member’s many
duties include working on plays, speech
contests, production work on plays, and
acting.
The National Honorary Thespians is an
honorary organization devoted to the ad-
vancement of dramatic arts in the high
school.
A point system is used to determine the
membership. At present there are eleven
members.

“What’s your subject?” quizzed the panel of
experts during the F.T.A. convo. From left to
right: Diane Pflughoeft, Karen Whisler, Chuck
Schmelter, Delores Mitchell and Dot Vara.
Mary Kay Berg, panel moderator, during the
convo interviews Mr. Harold Moody who clev-
erly disguised his voice to out-smart the panel.
Diane Pflughoeft, Carole Vygrala, Deane Cook
and Linda Prusiecki discussed “Standard Pro-
cedure for Membership” during the Future
Teachers of America convention. Six separate
discussion groups were held consecutively by
members from visiting schools. Hobart played host
to thirty schools during the October meeting.
F.T.A. Wins Teachers’ Hearts During A.E. Week
Deane Cook, secretary, is discussing the F.T.A. scholarship
program with the other officers, Diane Pflughoeft, treasurer;
Chuck Schmelter, vice president; Joyce Tosch, historian; and
Mary Kay Berg, president. Various clubs in Hobart contribute
to this scholarship.
The Future Teachers of America have spent the year mak-
ing their organization better known. In the school they
brought the club to the attention of the student body by
sponsoring American Education Week, with apples for all the
teachers and a convo to establish better teacher-student
relations.
Townspeople were invited to “Back to School Night” by the
F.T.A. Club and were shown their son or daughter’s class-
rooms by the members.
Hobart furthered its fame in the state organization by being
the host for the northern area convention. For the second
consecutive time the northern area vice presidency was held
by a Hobart member and the nomination for next year has
again been given to a Hobart -member.
To complete a year of hard work and fun, the members
spent a week-end at Purdue University. While there, they
attended the state convention, and visited many of the campus
sites.

The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is composed of those
students interested in entering the business field after completing high
school.
The FBLA holds its regular meetings the first and third Thursdays of
each month. Special committee meetings are held occasionally.
The main event of the year was the FBLA convention at Ball State
Teachers College, Muncie, Indiana. The members left at noon Friday, March
25. While at Muncie, the students participated in various contests. Among
them were speech contests and a spelling bee. The club also sponsored a
spelling match March 10 at the high school.
Club officers are: Sue Swim, president; Diane Denton, vice president; Pat
Lucas, secretary; Judy Hood, treasurer; Sheila Schutz, reporter.
In the fall 23 new members were inducted.
Demonstrating various machines used in office work are
the F.B.L.A. officers: Diane Denton, Sue Swim, Pat Lucas
and Judy Hood. During F.B.L.A. meetings, the group
frequently studies the uses of various office equipment.
Service, Service, Service, Without Any Applause
The Librarians, a service organization, help Mrs. Bailey
keep the Library in top notch condition.
The new members and officers were initiated in the
fall at the annual initiation party.
A few of the many activities of the librarians this year
included working in the snack bar, taking care of the
showcase just outside the library and working in the
library to earn points for letters. The club has regular
clean-up parties during which each member does her share
in cleaning and repairing library books. This sounds like
work but it usually turns out to be fun.
The biggest event of this year was the banquet honor-
ing the seniors. At this banquet the members were given
letters for earning a certain amount of points.
Working in the library is no small task as these club officers
Betty Bycroft, Ann Dolton, Sharon Anderson and Janice Beveridge
well know. But it’s fun, they all admit.

Linda Prusiecki stands by a project she created for the Science
Fair. In order to obtain the specimens Linda searched among
weeds and in dense areas for unusual bugs which she trapped
either with the use of a net or by picking it up gently. The
insects are classified and put in special mounting cases. Linda
commented that it was more of a hobby than a project.
Pins - a First for Bi-Phy-Chem Science Club
The Bi-Phy Chem Science Club has many
purposes. Among them are: 1) to increase one’s
knowledge of science, 2) to learn to perfect
skills in science, 3) to give service in the com-
munity and nation, 4) to understand the im-
portance of science in human lives and 5) to
help carry out the program of Science Clubs of
America.
During meetings the Science Club gives
members an opportunity to discuss all fields of
science and to develop their particular interests.
Field trips and movies are planned. To further
increase their scientific talents, members submit
projects for science fairs.
One of the major Hobart entries in this year’s
fair was Linda Prusiecki’s comprehensive insect
collection which was displayed in the student
lounge prior to her entering it in the fair. The
club hopes that next year enough entries will
be obtained for a local science fair.
The officers of the Science Club are examining one of the science depart-
ments many class size demonstration articles. The item under discussion is a
radio and the fellow explaining it is John Stofko. From left to right: Chuck
Heilman, vice president; Pete Winske, secretary; Linda Prusiecki, president;

The Audio-Visual Department was first originated in
1955 by a former Hobart teacher, Mr. Charles Carlock.
It is one of the many service organizations in our school.
The director of the organization is selected by the
principal and he in turn selects three of his fellow stu-
dents to serve as the directing staff.
Audio-Visual members run movie projectors in class-
rooms, operate the public address system for convocations
or sports events both in the gym and at the football field,
and make tape recordings of Hobart’s talent in action.
Handling of projectors, microphones, and tape
recorders is the responsibility of the Audio-
Visual officers and members. Here the officers,
from left to right: Larry Hopkins, Jon Howard,
George Smith, Dick Briggs, and Terry Storey,
display one of the projectors.
Members of the Audio-Visual Club willingly responded to having their
pictures taken even though a busy schedule of setting up equipment Projects and more projects; this is what the F.H.A.
consumes much of their time. From left to right, bottom row: Ken officers have to be continually thinking about both

Future Homemakers of America performed one
of its many services for the school by serving at
“Back to School Night.” In co-operation with
the Future Teachers of America, the members
provided punch, coffee, and cookies.
Another project with the organization has been
the supporting of the F.T.A. scholarship. Also
the group has helped redecorate the home fur-
nishings room. Sponsors of the club are Mrs.
Bryon Reed and Miss Judy Wall.
139
Art Club
The Art Club is a relatively new club consisting
of a small group of students interested in all phases
of art. When it was first organized, one of the
projects was to provide posters needed for the various
school functions. Now the club’s activities have
broadened to include the making of posters for the
different organizations. Window trimming for the
Hobart Merchants during the holidays was another
project.
The Art Club as a project collected old and broken
toys, in connection with the Chamber of Commerce,
and repaired and painted them for distribution
among the needy families in Hobart as well as the
children’s ward of the local hospitals for Christmas.
Besides giving an art award to a sophomore, a
junior, and a senior art student this year, a scholar-
ship was also awarded to a worthy senior student
who plans to continue his education in the field
of art.
Repairing and painting toys for needy children at Christmas was only one
of the many Art Club activities. Roger Remaley fixes the leg on a rocker
while Judy Anderson and Lynn Seipel paint trucks.
“Pottery making is a fascinating hobby” ex-
plains Jim Taylor to Laurie Miko as he puts
the finishing touches on one of the many vases
he has made. Laurie is next in line to use the
potter’s wheel.
Need a poster or a play prop? See the Art Club officers from left to
right: Ron Will, secretary-treasurer; Brian Skogler, vice president; and
Sally Adams, president. Here they are putting finishing touches on the
props for “Yohannaire.”

“Rah, Rah! Hobart!” scream the cheerleaders, Pam
Pruitt, Gwen Welsh, Sharon Campbell and Martha Hart-
man, during one of the home basketball games while
Hobart fans tensely follow the game.
Boosters First Rate
Booster Club members are the behind the scene workers
of the Brickie sport teams.
Club membership is open to enthusiastic Hobart stu-
dents who are for the team all the way — win or lose.
Members make pom poms, posters, etc., to add inspiration
to an assured success for the team.
This year’s officers include Sandy Lea, president; Marg
Banaski, vice president; Becky Griffiths, secretary; Joyce
Tosch, treasurer; Sheryl Nelson and Betsy Murray.
As in past years the club has had an organized block
of boosters who sport white gloves and blouses and shirts.
A newly-organized section of H-Men was formed this
year including their own cheerleaders.
“Skit, scat; we’re better than that,” point out the H-men
as they bellow one of their many original cheers. Bob
Bergeson and Wally Geib lead this newly organized cheer-
ing block.
Are these Hobart students? Yes, but for a time they have stepped
into the shoes of the Gary Roosevelt cheerleaders. From left to
right, are: Linda Harrelson, Donna R. Morris, Sandy Lea, and
Margaret Banaski.
Becky Griffiths points to the Emerson score on the Ho-Hi score-
board in which the Brickies defeated the Norsemen 71-63 during
a home game. From left to right: Marge Banaski, Sheryl Nelson,
Sandy Lea, Joyce Tosch, and Betsy Murray smile their approval.

Linda Howell, clerk-treasurer, is recording the business of the Student
Council while Mike Davis, mayor, conducts the meeting.
Meet the Student Council, your governing body
this year. Much busy activity takes place with the
preparing of an agenda before each meeting. First
activity of the council was the Get Acquainted
party where all members planned the refreshments
and programs.
In October, 10 students took time to attend the
student council conference at Indiana Central Col-
lege. Major activity in the fall was the Leadership
Conference, which was held October 26 and 27.
At the fourth meeting of the Student Council a
Sophomore tradition had its origin. The Sopho-
mores were responsible for ringing the victory bell
at home games in which Hobart was the victor.
In November the Optimist Club gave awards to
Willie Regier and Martha Hartman for their lead-
ership ability. Martha’s school improvement com-
mittee held a clean-up week in November.
Another project was Christmas decorations. The
Seniors decorated the tree in the lobby; juniors,
the cafetorium, and the sophomores had charge of
the offices'and lobby.
Also during February the Student Council spon-
sored their first dance class under the direction of
Jim Darling.
The talent show, Yohannaire, held March 3 and
4 was their biggest money making project. The
proceeds went toward the Student Council scholar-
ship awarded to a worthy senior.
March 23 the members sponsored Care day. Two
basketball games were played; one with the senior
girls and women teachers and the second with the
best of the Intramural boys and faculty men.
Also during February the Student Council spon-
sored Government day. The seniors took over the
local government after filling out applications for
the office of their choice.
As a final activity of the year the Mayoral and
Clerk candidates are chosen.

The National Honor Society is based on
four principles: scholarship, leadership,
character and service. Members are se-
lected as to their ability to fulfill these
principles. To be eligible students must
rank in the upper one third of the class
scholastically. From this one-third 15 per-
cent are chosen and initiated in the spring.
Some activities of this year’s honor so-
ciety have been the presentation of a skit
at a pep session; the Pizza supper given
for the Hobart honor students on February
22, the presentation of honor certificate
awards for the outstanding Sophomore boy
and girl at the honor convo held in May;
and the induction of new members held
April 28. A tea is given for parents and
new members immediately following ini-
tiation.
Officers for this year include Rolf Guen-
ther, president; Dan Davis, vice president;
Barbara Hahn, secretary; Nancy Guyton,

Mr. Robert Benson
Just ten years ago with the coming of Mr. Hilmer Jacobson from Merrillville High
School, the A Cappella Choir was started. Under Mr. Jacobson’s direction, the choir
participated in four state choral contests, receiving three superior and one excellent
ratings. Mr. Jacobson continued until 1955 when he left to assume direction of the
choir at Indiana State Teachers College. Mr. Gene Simons, from Delphi, Indiana,
succeeded him. In 1956 a student director was added to the choir.
The first trip was a two-day tour throughout Indiana. The choir has since toured
four times and has sung before student and adult audiences throughout Indiana. In
1957 the Madrigal group consisted of twelve of the outstanding members of the
choir. They performed at many functions where it was impossible to have the whole
choir.
In 1959 Mr. Simons left Hobart to further his music education at Florida State and
Mr. Robert Benson, vocal director at Highland, became the new director. He immedi-
ately inaugurated many changes among them the substituting of the spring tour for
the Broadway Musical, “Brigadoon.”
It has always been one of the aims of the choir to perform the finest in choral
literature. Among the numbers presented on past programs have been works by
Palestrina, Victoria, Bach, Handel, Schumann, and Vaughn-Williams. Under Mr.
Jacobson’s direction, the choir initiated the presentation of Handel’s oratorio “Messiah”
at the Christmas Concert.
This became an annual occurrence until this Christmas when Mr. Benson chose to
substitute Bach’s cantata “For Unto Us A Child Is Born.”
This year, for the first time, the choir presented the hit Broadway musical, “Briga-
doon,” by Lerner and Loewe. Three performances were staged during the spring
semester.
Also taking place during the spring was a choral festival involving the Hobart
choir and 5 other area high school choirs, Griffith, Merrillville, Highland, Crown Point,
and Calumet.

Popular Broadway Musical Finds Its Way
Ed Trinowski performs the wedding ceremony during a re-enactment
of a scene from Brigadoon. Beth Gallagher and Daryle Teague
remain serious throughout the ordeal.
Mary Ann VanBlaircom and Linda Quinlan were the
accompanists for Brigadoon. Hours of practice were
spent at the piano, going over the approximate 14
numbers that were sung.
“Heather on the Hill,” a song from Brigadoon is
being practiced by Mary Ann VanBlaircom while
Donna Erwin and Ron Sowinski, leads, look on.
The four main leads for Brigadoon get together and enact
a typical scene. Elain Carpenter is pursuing Jim Atherton
while the two lovers Donna Erwin and Ron Sowinski
interest themselves in each other.

bell, Judy Freeland and Sandy Smith model various styles of robes, to allow
the group to see their choices. The girls decided to change the past costume of
black skirts and blue sweaters to the wearing of robes, which would improve
the appearance of the choir.

Year of
First Division Ratings
in All Contests Entered
The name of this famous organization, the Hobart High
School Band, is almost always associated with its founder
and first director, William D. Revelli.
Since Mr. Revelli’s departure in 1935, there have been
five new band directors. Mr. Richard A. Worthington who
was an alumnae of the Hobart Band, left in 1953. Mr.
Robert Webb, succeeded Mr. Albert C. Leach in 1955.
The band has maintained its high standards of achieve-
ment for over thirty years. At this time the band claims
the distinction of having the longest consecutive number
of first places in all contests entered since 1930. During
that year the Hobart band won its first national cham-
pionship. This record of wins is believed to be the finest
record held by any school band organization in the United
States.
The primary aim of the band is to build good citizens.
This type of goal is hard to evaluate in terms of success
or failure. Band members hold the ideals of musicianship
and character high and they demonstrate this by being a
closely-knit group.
This year the band invited Dr. Revelli to conduct its
spring concert to celebrate their 30th consecutive year.
The band is to be commended for its fine past and
present performances in what has proven to be a totally
successful venture.
Mr. Webb will direct the band in the 'same three numbers at
the state contest that thirty years ago won Hobart its first na-
tional championship under Dr. William Revelli. These same num-
bers will again be played at the spring concert. The band now
boasts eighty members to thirty-seven in 1930.
“This ole house” doesn’t look bewitched, but many weird ghosts
appeared at the chimney and then floated in the cool autumn air.
But don’t be frightened, they were only “Balloon spirits” sent
up by the band for the Halloween performance. Since this was
Homecoming, the traditional crown for the queen was formed.
The candidates were then escorted onto the field and the queen
announced.
During a western show which pictured the fight at the OK Cor-
ral between Wyatt Earp and the Crown Point boys the band
formed the “famous star” as worn by the old-time marshal. The
band used a new and unusual step going from formation to
formation. It is known as the “bow-legged-bend.”
Band Steps High As It Adds New Attraction
Danny Davis, our drum major, and his assistant, Mick Pillar,
led the band in the Double-H which is the traditional formation
performed at each home game during the half time activities.
While in this formation, the students join in singing as the band
plays the “Brickie Fight Song.”
The Russians hit the moon! Or did they? No man-made rocket
will ever hit this band-made moon. It was created during the
Halloween half-time show for the benefit of low-flying witches.
Another formation performed was a witch’s hat, to which Donna
Boling did her version of the can-can.

Peg Farrell, Mark Pflughoeft and Gretchen Liechty proudly display their
newly won medals at state band contest which was held February 20. In
the background is the bus which took them to Indianapolis for the judging.
Phone calls, letter writing, arranging for buses and finally April —
it’s tour time once again for the hand. This year the band spanned
two states, visited six cities, and played four concerts in four days.
April 27 was spent in Columbia City and Fort Wayne. The 85
members then boarded their two chartered buses on April 28 and
headed for Chelsea, and Jackson, Michigan. The 29th found them in
Detroit and Greenfield village.
Greenfield village which is located in Detroit has been entirely re-
constructed to contain the homes and inventions of various famous
people. Resembling a museum it was supported by the Ford project
and contains such oddities as the chair in which Lincoln was shot.
Soloists on the band tour included Sue Goza, bassoonist; Dave Lewis,
baritone; and Bob Hodsden, clarinet; and the drum trio consisting of
Bob' Bone, Donna Allen and Greg Bogan. The cornet trio consisted of
Harold Eilts, Richard Hammond, and Charles Kelly. They will play
“The Three Blue Jackets.”
George Smith commented that the tour was even more fun than last
year while Peggy Farrell stated that “I had a ball and enjoyed visiting
the historical sites.”
Trying to play bellhop boys? Actually Dave Thompson and Bob Bone
are trying to carry all of the luggage into a Detroit hotel. Dave and
Bob are members of the band’s equipment crew, which unloads and
reloads the buses at each stop made.
Climaxes Tour With Trip to Greenfield Village
Donna Boling
With an evil gleam in his eye, Danny Davis, president, seems to be dictating
a grueling tryout schedule to Donna Allan, secretary. Bob Hodsden, vice
president,, and Sue Goza, efficiency manager, are voicing a few morbid
comments! Susan Taylor, treasurer, and Gail Jenkins, sponsor, listen
intently.

what’s
their
future?
The young people you see in these pictures are all
on their way to successful careers in one of America's
basic industries . . . steel. They decided (as we hope
you will decide) to let Inland Steel Company help
them plan their future.
Some are gaining knowledge and experience in spe-
cial trades to become journeyman machinists, car-
penters or electricians . . . some are concentrating on
certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open
hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing
lines. Still others are working in laboratories building
a sound foundation for a future in steel research.
Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent
opportunity to further his education. Employees may
participate in a variety of on-the-job training pro-
grams, or they can continue their formal education
by registering for evening courses offered by local
Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers.
Plan now to investigate the unlimited opportunities
for you in steel . . . with the midwest's own steel
company . . . INLAND STEEL.

As this book comes to a close so does all the work that the ’59-’60 yearbook staff did. Lots of
hard work was put into the making of this book and the credit for its production goes to those
students and adults who spent many late hours on it so that you the students could get your year-
books on time.
I should like to thank Mr. Moody and the teachers for their fine co-operation and for bearing
so patiently with class interruptions. Also I would like to thank the janitorial staff who frequently
came to our rescue by letting us remain in the building till closing time prior to our three major
deadlines.
Special thanks go to Mr. Walter Keller, and Mr. Jim Daniels for their excellent photography work,
also to Miss Lorraine Quinn, our yearbook advisor, and to Mr. Robert E. Lee, our Taylor company
representative. A vote of thanks goes to the yearbook staff for the many hours they spent on pro-
ducing a book of which we hope you are proud.
I would also like to thank Jane Wesley, George Smith and Ed Hinkle who, though not affiliated
with the yearbook, have spent hours helping us on those crucial deadlines. Without the self denial
and self determination of all these people the ’59- ’60 yearbook could not have become a reality.
